Using existing Microsoft products already licensed and used in primary and secondary schools, the Microsoft Platform for Education Analytics (MPEA) is an integrated technology architecture connecting all people across primary and secondary schools with the information they need to direct their actions in a manner consistent with the goals and priorities of the educational institution. It is the underlying Microsoft technologies that enable broad and impactful adoption across educational institutions because they are both affordable and familiar. Successful utilisation of this model is primarily dependent upon executive leadership guiding a scholastic commitment to foster a culture of evidence and accountability corresponding directly to mission, vision, and goals.

This platform supports a culture where goal-focused and evidence-based behaviour optimises school resources toward balanced goal attainment across administrative efficiencies (business), academic outcomes (learning), and constituent relationships (lifestyle).
